Questions about Seafood sticks
What are seafood sticks made of?
They are usually made from surimi: white fish minced into a paste, seasoned and shaped into sticks, often with colour added to resemble crab. Despite the name, they are generally fish rather than crab meat.
Can you eat seafood sticks straight from the packet?
Most are cooked during manufacture and ready to eat, so you can add them straight to a salad or sandwich. Keep them chilled and follow the packet’s storage instructions.
How do you use seafood sticks in sushi?
For a simple sushi roll, cut a stick lengthways and roll it with sushi rice, nori and cucumber. They also work in a California-style roll with avocado; shred them first if you want them to mix easily with mayonnaise.
Can you cook seafood sticks in a hot dish?
Yes, but add them near the end of cooking: they are already cooked and can turn soft or stringy if boiled for too long. Stir them into fried rice, noodles or soup just long enough to heat through.
How should you store seafood sticks after opening?
Put them in a covered container in the fridge and use them within the time stated on the packet. If they were sold frozen, thaw them in the fridge rather than on the worktop.
Do seafood sticks contain shellfish?
They are usually made from fish, not crab or other shellfish, but some products may include shellfish or be made where it is handled. If you need to avoid an allergen, check the ingredients and allergy information on the packet.
